Required parameters: None

Encoding considerations:

Lotus Notes databases (.nsf, .nsg, .nsh, .ns2, .ns3, .ns4, and .ntf)
contain binary data and should be suitably encoded (base64 preferred).
A Notes Data Link (.ndl) contains text so quoted-printable encoding
is preferred.

File is intended to be processed by Lotus Notes.  It may contain
scripts which could be executed on the receiver's system and could
compromise the security of the machine.
